Community Tuk-Tuk Driver Shocked as Russian Tourists Engage in Sexual Act During Ride
Picture courtesy of Khaosod A tuk-tuk driver has taken to social media to express frustration and disbelief after a pair of Russian tourists allegedly engaged in an explicit sexual act during a journey from Patong to Surin Beach, despite repeated pleas for them to stop. The incident came to light after the driver, identified on Facebook as Somnuck Chanagune, posted a 57-second video clip along with a caption describing the ordeal. According to his account, the male and female passengers performed oral sex in the back of his tuk-tuk while he was driving. He claimed to have stopped the vehicle multiple times in an attempt to intervene, but said his requests were ignored. “I tried to stop them four times,” Mr. Somnuck wrote. “I even got out of the vehicle three times to tell them to stop. They paused briefly, then continued. In the end, I gave up and let them do whatever they wanted, just asked them not to be too obvious about it.” In his post, he added that the male tourist appeared embarrassed, while the female was unfazed and continued the act openly. The driver remarked that such behaviour is unfortunately something taxi drivers must sometimes endure, noting the difficulty in handling foreign visitors who show no regard for public decency. The video post quickly attracted attention and sparked debate on social media, with many commenters sympathising with the driver. Some joked that installing rear-facing cameras might be a worthwhile precaution in the future. While no police action has been reported at this time, the incident has raised concerns over public conduct by tourists in popular resort areas like Phuket. It also underscores the challenges faced by transport workers who are often left to deal with inappropriate or unlawful behaviour without immediate recourse.

Now, which Asian country has the tastiest rice, mates?
I might be inclined to argue that Khao Soi (delicious) is more Thai than Massaman (also delicious)...the former being of Lao/Northern Thailand origin and the latter more of a fusion dish with it's origin in Persia and India with Muslim roots. Thais adapted it well with the addition of chillies, coriander, lemongrass, galangal etc -

Accident Worker Dies After Fall from Mezzanine Floor in Samut Prakan
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident unfolded on the morning of 16 June, at a workshop in Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan, when a worker was found dead after an apparent fall from a mezzanine level. The victim, identified as 54-year-old Mr. Boonta, was discovered lying face down in a pool of blood on the ground floor of the premises, dressed only in a sarong. Police from Phra Pradaeng Station, led by Pol. Lt. Isarat Tansuk, responded to an emergency call, along with rescue workers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation. The warehouse, located in the Bang Chak sub-district, is used for storing miscellaneous goods and is secured by a perimeter fence. Mr. Boonta was found with severe injuries, including a depressed skull fracture, swelling around the right eye, and blood oozing from his mouth and nose. Authorities estimate he had been dead for at least two to four hours before being found. The mezzanine level, roughly three metres above ground, served as the deceased’s sleeping quarters. Access was gained by a makeshift bamboo ladder, which was in place at the time of the incident. Mr. Suchart, 38, a colleague who also resided at the warehouse, told investigators that Mr. Boonta habitually slept upstairs, while he himself stayed on the ground floor. Around 06:00, Mr. Suchart awoke to prepare for his daily work as a metal cutter. It was then that he discovered the lifeless body of his colleague and ran to alert a nearby neighbour for help. “I was shocked,” Mr. Suchart said. “There was blood everywhere, but I didn’t hear a sound during the night. I’ve never had any problems with him.” Neighbour Mrs. Amporn, 74, confirmed that Mr. Suchart came running in a panic, asking for help. “He told me Boonta was bleeding and not moving. I went to have a look and saw blood all over his face,” she recounted. “The last time I saw him was last night when he came by the shop asking to buy alcohol on credit. I didn’t give it to him. He drank often, but he was harmless.” Police documented the scene and recorded initial witness statements. Mr. Boonta’s body was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Investigators have also invited Mr. Suchart to the station for further questioning as part of routine procedures. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities, including accidental fall, intoxication, or foul play, pending the results of the post-mortem examination.

The locals are fed up with the annoying tourists.
Nice try, but this is an adult forum, and it might be over your head, but not ours. -

Minor disagreements are when a man and a woman argue over who takes out the garbage, talk to your daughter more in English to help her future, why do you lie on the floor staring at the ceiling for hours (depression), don't hit the child for spilling her milk etc. She was never divorced, had a daughter from another 2 men. Gave her first daughter to her first boyfriend's family, gave her second back to her second boyfriend, got her back, gave her to her first daughter. Hope only works when you have a stable minded partner. I didn't. Remember I've said this before? I do expect you'll bring this up in your usual twisted way, not understanding with such a limited amount of experience that some women out there are plain evil.
